PYROLYTIC PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING ENHANCED AMOUNTS OF AROMATC COMPOUNDS
United States Patent Application 20080200738
Kind Code: A1
A pyrolysis process and reactor converts various hydrocarbons such as waste materials, for example, scrap polymers, tires, etc., into various chemical components or amounts thereof, not otherwise produced by conventional pyrolytic processes. A large reactor size is utilized in association with a low heat input per unit weight of charge. A thick pyrolyzate/“char” layer is formed during pyrolysis. The product or various components thereof can be utilized as a fuel or octane additive.

Turning the Corner on Polymer Recycling
Polyflow offers an innovative technology that for the first time allows true recycling of mixed dirty plastic and rubber waste. Products of this process are gasoline, diesel fuel and most importantly, monomers and solvents that are viable feedstock for engineering polymers as alternatives to those normally made from crude oil and natural gas.Deployment of Polyflow's patented process nationwide will reduce our country's dependence on foreign crude oil over 3.5% annually. Greenhouse gas emissions produced by the incineration of plastic and rubber waste can be reduced by an estimated 70% through the adoption of Polyflow's recycling technology by the solid waste industry. The Polyflow Process offers an end of life solution to previously 'unrecyclable' polymers, such as tires, carpeting, and e-waste, which would otherwise be discarded in landfills or incinerated.
